anniversarycruisin'

We have this particular excursion booked for our cruise on the Valor next weekend. Where would I find out more info about whether or not this excursion is still a go for us?

Would love to hear from others that have been to St. Thomas. This will be our first time experiencing this port. I really want to do the tram ride. Can anyone give some suggestions for other "musts" in St Thomas?

What will you be reading on your next cruise? I love easy reading mysteries on vacation (Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton) and will be bringing both on my next cruise. This is the first time I'll be bringing a Kindle rather than actual books on vacation. If I get tired of reading, I can always play Scrabble. I'm addicted!

We will be cruising in May with my DH and my Kindle. Since getting the my Kindle back in August, the two of us are attached...I go no where without it! And of course, I will be reading whatever tickles my fancy since I have a wide assortment of books on it. Best invention ever!

...so I was walking down to the restaurant with my stuffed bird on the shoulder of my life jacket, trying to keep my Burger King crown on with one hand, when this wig comes at my face from nowhere....:D

Okay, that is just too darn funny!!!:o

All I can say is "wow" guys and thanks for all the tips ( and the pics of the slide were awesome). However, me and hubby are more sunbathers (oh lets face it, we like to nap out on the decks) rather than watersliders (it would be different if the kids were along). So, our biggest decision has been the ship and the room. I love having breakfast out on the balcony to start my day, and everything I have read, I believe that the Triumph's balcony room is our best option (like someone said....I have to stop thinking in terms of "room" and "suite"). I have researched the room size and I think it is plenty big for just the hubby and me.....and besides, we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, so we don't mind being close to each other in the room (hahaha!). So again, thanks for all the input....going in today to my TA to put down my deposit and get our wonderful trip booked!!! Will now be counting down the days to March 1st! Whoohooo!

Hey,

Thanks so much for all of your replies....I think I have been swayed to go ahead and book the Triumph. The majority of reviews I have read have been positive (and I am a firm believer a cruise is what you make of it), and it doesn't sound like the room size is all that much different. I can do without a fridge and tub. It is just the DH and me, so no need for the Fantasy's waterslide (I think I am more interested in the outdoor movie screen on the Triumph). So, again, thank you for all of your great replies...they helped ALOT!

Yeah, my TA said that the Triumph is a "regular" balcony room. She said it is a new ship too. But,the Fantasy has the balcony "suites" which I assume have more room and bathtubs. But I just don't know if it is worth the extra money. The hubby is a tad bit claustrophobic, so the extra space we had on the Sensation was really nice (we were a Cat. 11 on the Verandah deck...it was awesome. But again, I am looking at a $200 difference per ticket by going with the regular balcony room.

Hey everyone out there!

Planning a cruise for March to celebrate another anniversary! We have two options....the Triumph out of New Orleans or the Fantasy out of Mobile. We chose these ports because they are closest to us (hubby doesn't fly). I am trying to decide between the two....our last cruise was out of New Orleans, but it was on the Sensation. I am wanting anyones opinions that have been on these other two ships. How do they compare. The Triumph we can get a whole lot better price on, but they do not have the balcony suites like the Fantasy (we had this room previously and loved it!). The price difference is substantial....the Triumph is just a regular balcony room. Anyone have some opinions? Thanks so much for any and all input!

Happy Cruisin' Everyone
